Chapter 923

Joanne and Justin were stunned. They had already guessed that Hailey was in Jonah’s office.
After all, she was probably the only one in the world who could make him ignore them.
However, what they hadn’t expected was to see her sleeping in his arms.
Joanne froze in place. With a grim expression, she responded, “Jonah, you—”
Justin stared at them, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Hailey was tucked into Jonah’s arms like she belonged there, fast asleep.
Jeremy asked, “Jonah, you’re really back with her? After everything with Hannah?
She tricked you, Jonah. Or did you already forget?”
Joanne cut in. “We thought you went to call her out, not… end up like this.”
After the fallout with Hannah, Jonah had been livid. Joanne and Justin were sure that was the end of him and Hailey.
After all, no one would stick around after something like that happened.
However, they got back together again.
Jonah looked up at Joanne and Justin. “I’ve already dealt with her for what happened with Hannah.”
He had punished Hailey harshly, but only in bed.
Of course, Joanne and Justin didn’t know about that part.
Justin said, “Come on, Jonah. You think giving her a slap on the wrist is enough for this?”
Joanne chimed in. “Jonah, don’t tell me you punished her just to go running back to her.”
Jonah looked at them and asked, “Why shouldn’t I be with her?”
Joanne and Justin fell silent.
Hailey stirred in her sleep, shifting slightly. Her flushed face pressed deeper into Jonah’s chest as she settled back down, still fast asleep.
“Keep your voices down. You’ll wake her!” Jonah hissed quietly.
“You’re really gone for her, aren’t you?” Justin asked.
Jonah didn’t answer him. “If there’s nothing else, you can go.”
That was his polite way of showing them the door.
Joanne looked like she wanted to argue, but Justin caught her by the arm. “Joanne, let’s just go.”
She hesitated, then followed him out. At the door, she turned back for one last look.
Jonah lowered his gaze, his eyes lingering on Hailey with a quiet intensity.
He reached down and carefully adjusted the blanket over her, ensuring she was tucked in just right.
Joanne’s hand curled into a fist at her side. Her nails dug into her palm, but she didn’t even feel the sting.
She was furious. She had thought
the snow totus would be enough to pull them apart, but Jonah was already deeply in love with
Halley there was no breaking them
up, no matter how hard anyone tried.
Once Joanne and Justin stepped into the hallway, Justin said, “Joanne, he’s in too deep. There’s no pulling him back now.”
It was hard to believe Jonah turned out to be the kind of guy who lost his mind over a girl.
Joanne had seen it too. “Justin, you have to help me.”
“I am helping you, Joanne. But when it comes to feelings? That’s not something I can fix… Jonah’s deeply in love with Ms. Hailey, and he’s not coming out
After that, he sighed heavily and turned to leave.
“Justin!”
Joanne stomped her foot, seething with frustration. She refused to let it end like this.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Ewan.
The call connected quickly.
“Ms. Lilton, how’s it going with Jonah? It’s been a while you should’ve had him in the bag by now.”
Joanne’s expression darkened. “Mr. Ewan, I didn’t get him.”
“What? Why not? Didn’t he break
things off with Hailey? You had et
perfect chance-why didn’t you make your move?” Ewan questioned.
